Invitation to Comment: Do you know a woman who has risen above adversity to make a better life for herself and her family? Tell us about her, or comment on this blog. For each person who shares their thoughts here, between now and midnight 3/8/11, Kathryn will donate $1.00 (up to a total of $500.) to the Washington, DC House of Ruth. This wonderful organization assists over 600 women and children (who have been living in stark poverty and violent, abusive surroundings) to find safe shelter and achieve their goal of a better life. 
About the organization:
You’re here! You’re special! You care. So do we … and we have the skills to help.
Together we can provide women and children who are homeless and abused with the housing and intensive supportive services they need. We are assisting 600+ women and children who have been living in stark poverty and violent, abusive surroundings. We enfold them in a safe and nurturing environment, then we work closely with them every day to achieve their goals. Please join us in helping courageous women and children build new lives that are safe and stable.
Donor Testimonial
What caught my eye about House of Ruth was its focus on addressing the interrelated problems that underlie many women’s experiences of abuse, mental health, drug abuse and financial issues, and its holistic approach to empowering women to overcome past traumas and transform their lives.
